What do you think about windshield visibility in the rain ?

I just tried turning off wipers in the storm, I think it looks really kool, makes visibility a lot worse when you have darker view ahead, and worse the rest of the time, also really epic how it seems to be responding to G forces !

Haven't tested in the rain with spray to check if being in the spray makes it much worse yet.

I think unless that car has very great defog and humidity control system, the windshield lacks gaining fogyness.

What do you think about this kool feature ?

 

I was misreading that in the first glance, but then it should read ACC, shouldn't it

 

I've to turn the effects to mid to get stable FPS. So no clue about raindrops at the windshield

 

It would be cool if they can add some dirt into the water accumulation , just saying as am not really in position to suggest anything.

 

Do you have any example for that, I don't know what you mean.

A bit of semi-off-topic My good old Opel Omega has worlds most scratched windshield ever. When I drive through light source, or towards a car at night, the light gets bounced all over the place by the scratches, that I literally can't see anything :/

 

@mantasisg




It's a little bit extreme but just to get the idea.
especially when you are behind cars pouring water at your windshield, water shouldn't be so clean.

 

Dont these cars have a pretty good coating on the windscreen? Dirt shouldnt stick that well i think

 

In storm condition, by night the water sprays of cars front of us, look maybe too bright (too opaque) ?


"What do you think about windshield visibility in the rain"

It looks fine.

 

Light reflecting on water only real solution is drive without headlights

 

It's a solution

Ok, same impression for me.

 

Just drove a race with the AI in storm, that effect when you turn on/off lights and spray illuminates is really epic, even illuminates in daytime. I don't find spray to be very difficult in any way.

 

I also thought, that the refelction of the spray might be a little too bright in the night
And because of it, I indeed drove with the head lights off on occasion

I'm really not sure though, I know irl shining your high beams into thick fog is also quite disturbing, so might as well be irl as it is now depicted in ACC.

 

Yea i think its pretty normal for it to be that bright atleast from what ive seen in real life and race cars trow up alot more water
The bigger problem is the ai randomly stopping for no reason in wet weather that together with the blinding from the spray is a recipe for crashes.
Its hard to see if its possible to race in the spray with the ai being silly

 

Depends what you call difficult but I cant see much like this, not that there is anything wrong with it but its a bit easier to see reference points on a dry track in the sun.

 

exactly situations like this one had me turn my head lights off
@Aristotelis, please tell us, is this what it really looks like when you shine your head lamps into the spray?
Not that we complain, its EA and all, but heck, its really hard to drive along like this.
Maybe there is an issue still with the rear lights of the car in front not showing through the spray, when in reality they might still be visible to give you some guidance?

 

That might be it or it should atleast have atleast some kind of slight red glow on braking. Not sure whzt the point is of the rear rain light if you cant see it trought the spray
Then again could realy be that bad in real life

Dont races in these kind of situations get red flagged pretty fast? Like the storm

 

I'm sure it is on their to-do list already. Totally agree, it is pretty undrivable, when you drive behind the spray.

 

In real life , they would for sure stop the race alltogether under such conditions...
But you know how it is...real race drivers nowadays, driving along with power steering and air condition (according to Aris) they are just to spoiled for comfort
Just not the same breed as real sim racers, driving in their pyjamas, and with the head lights switched off
